Hyperscale Data, Inc., an artificial intelligence data center company, announced on July 17, 2026 that its subsidiary Omnipresent Robotics has commenced installing OPR-R2 robots at the Company's Michigan AI data center. The first OPR-R2 unit was assembled at the Facility on July 16, 2026, marking the beginning of the Company's large-scale visual data collection and physical AI training program.

Omnipresent Robotics has an order in place for 143 OPR-R2 robots, of which up to 100 are currently anticipated for installation at the Facility. Delivery and installation timing remain subject to manufacturing lead times, supply chain conditions and other factors outside the Company's control. The remaining units are expected to be allocated to partner pilot programs, with more information to be provided in coming months.

Hyperscale Data is developing an approximately 100,000-square-foot dedicated robotics facility within the Facility to support the deployment and operation of OPR-R2 robots, the performance of real-world physical tasks, the collection and processing of visual training data, and related AI development activities. The Company expects this expansion could support the creation of more than 500 jobs over approximately the next three years as operations expand.

The OPR-R2 robots will perform real-world, day-to-day tasks while collecting high-quality visual, spatial, movement and interaction data. The resulting data will be processed and validated for use in training advanced foundation models, including large language models, vision-language-action models, robotics foundation models and other multimodal AI systems. All data generated through the program will be processed, warehoused and maintained in the United States and will not leave the country.

Chief Executive Officer Will Horne stated, "The arrival of the first OPR-R2 robot in Michigan represents the beginning of an important real-world data-generation program. These robots will perform physical tasks and generate the visual, spatial and interaction data required to train increasingly advanced AI models." He added that the Company believes this dedicated facility can become an important center for generating, processing and warehousing high-quality physical-world data for various advanced AI applications, with data remaining in the United States throughout the process.
